Higher State Of grace
Lying here asleep, at peace,
resting through the age of man
Long have I labored, long have I travailed,
Since the birth of time itself began
Safely resting through the ages,
the bosom of the earth my bed
Waiting here for when next,
the Lotus closes and the world itself ends
The hum of OM awakens me, as the long night of my eternity,
comes at long last to an end
Stirring from my slumber, the world now reborn,
as the lotus flower blossoms once again
Opening now, rising from primal thought
with strength and everlasting energy
To raise mankinds consciousness,
to the world as it was meant to be
Now at last, a new age begins,
the world reborn anew
The lotus flower opens once again
and receives the Sun's energy
Down through the roots and into the Earth,
life at last reborn anon
Reconnecting man in the early days of this new age,
to a state of peace, a higher state of grace
The red lotus symbolizes compassion and love,
while blue symbolizes wisdom's state
Pink for enlightenment and gold,
the world beyond this, the final state of grace
My work at last complete, the final stage,
the fourth and final, wandering age
So again I shall sleep, again shall I rest,
until the flowers final closing, my work at last complete
